EXPOSITION O 'IRE PRACTICES AND MACHINATIONS wprrcn LED TO THE USURPATION OF THE• CROWN OF SPAIN, AND THE MEANS ADOPTED BY THE EM PEROR OF THE FRENCH TO CARRY IT INTO EX ECUTION, BY DON PEDRO CEVALLOS, FLEET SE CRETARY OF STATE AND DISPATCHES TO HIS CATHOLIC MAJESTY FERDINANP At a period when the nation has made and continues to make the most heroic of ts to shake Off the yoke of slavery attempted to be imposed upon it, it is the duty of all good citizens to contribute, by every means in their power, to enlighten it with respeli to the real causes that - have brought it into its present situation, and to keep up the'noble spirit by winch it is animated. " 10 make known to Spain and the whole world the base means resorted to by the Emperor of the Ert , ml; to seize the person of f , ur King, Ferdinand and to subjugate this great and generous na— tion, is a duty well worthy of one who, like myself,' is in a condition to discharge it ; inasmuch as cir cumstances placed - me in a situation. to be an eye W4ineis of the evetizs which preceded the catastrophe of Bayonne, and in which I bore a part. It was nit in my power to do this before, in consequence of a personal restraint, and from not haviOg colleaed the documents necessary to accredit my statement. Some are still wanting, which it was necessary to burn, in consequence of dangerous circumstances, in which every thing was to be teared ; others have disappeared through the various incidents connect ed w h that unhappy period ; but those I now pre sent are sufficient to prove the atrocious violence committed against our beloved Kiog Ferdinard VII. and the whole nation. " Though the conduct of Spain towards France 1 since the peace of Bask, a very interesting portion of its political history 'in these-latter times, is inti-•' windy connected with - the important events which form the subjedt of this Exposition, it is not neces sary t.. dwell even upon its principal periods.. It will be sufficient to - state w hat tite whole nation, and ail Europe knows, that the political system of Spain .bas constantly bet n during this time to preserve friendship and the best understanding with France, and to maintain, at all hazards, the ruinous alliance concluded in 1796. " To attain this end, there is,no sacrifice which Spain has not made ; and as the preset vation of the -Prince ot the Peace in the high degree of favour he enjoyed- with Charles I V. depended in a great Inea- Sure upon the continuance of this system, it was maintained with the greatest constancy and indeta tigable attention. Fleets, armies, treasure, every thing was sacrificed to France ; humiliations, sub tYaiston,„ every thing was suffered ; every thing was fate to satisfy, as tar as possible, the insatiable de mands of the French Government ; but the idea never once occurred 'of preserving the nation against the iliaJduations of an Ally, who was over-running Europe. 'The Treaty of Tilsit, in which the destiny of the world seemed 'to be decided in his favOur, was hardly concluded, when he turned 11:••3 eyes towards the West f and resolved on the ruin of Portugal and Spain ; or, what collies to the same purpose,' to make him self master of this vast Peninsula, with a view of • nuking its inhabitants as happy as those of Italy, -Holland, Switzerland, and the League of the Rhine. " At this very time tae Emperor was revolving in his mind some deSigns. fatal to Spain (tor he began to disarm her), by demanding a respectable body ot our troops to exert their valour in remote regions, and for foreign interests. This he effected without difficulty, and there was placed at his disposal a .gallatit and rt - Ated force of .16,000 awn, ot all de scriptions. " The enterprize of "making himself master of Spain was not so easy as Napoleon imagined. It was, above ail, necessary to find out some pretext for carrying into execution the daring and gigantic • plan of subjugating a friendly and allied nation, that bad made so many sacrifices, for France; and which this very Etnperor had praised for its fidelity and, nobleness of character. " Nevertheless, being accustomed to act with that disrekord to delicacy in the choice - of his means, which is characteristic of the man who imagines that the:conquest of the whole world, the destruction of the human species, and the, havoc of war, are con ducive to true glory, he resolved to excite and fo ment discord in the Royal Family , of Spain, through his Ambassador at this Court. _ . • " The latter, though perhaps not initiated in the grand secret 91 his Master, succeeded in seducing the Prince of Asturias, our present King - and Master, and suggested to him the idea of intermarrying with a Princess related to the Emperor. The affliction Which his Highness laboured under from a conjunc tion of circumstances, as lamentable as notorious, and his anxiety to avoid another connection into which it was attempted to force him, with a lady selected for him by his greatest enemy, and on that account alone the object of his aversion, induced him to acquiesce in the suggestions of the Ambassador; but with the stipulation, that it was to - m'eet the approbation of his august Parents; and under the impression that "it would strengthen the friendship and alliance then subsisting between the two Crowns. His Highness, Actuated by motives so cogent in a political point of view, and yielding to the solicita tions of the Ambassador, wrote accordingly to,his Laiperial Majesty. A few days after our beloved Prince wrote this letter, occurred the. scandalous imprisonment of his august person in the Royal Monastery of St. rence, and . the still more, scandalous Decree which was issued in the name of the King, and addressed to the Council of Castile. There are very strong reasons to believe, that the.unknown hand that frus trated this feigned conspiracy Was some French Agent employed to foiward the plan whieh Napo leon had formed. • , 0.!!! , s • • • * - • ) 11 1 . 1 ft V ,/ • EPRIcE sP PE CE. " Fortunately the Spanish nation was deeply im— pressed with its situati-n, entertained ajust opiuion of the good disposition and religious principles of the Prince of the Asturias, and suspected instan taneously that the whole was a calonmy fabricated by the Favourite,, as.absurd as it was audacious, in order to remove the only obstacle which then op posed it i s views. It is alre,idy known, that on the imprisonment of the Prince of Asturias, his Royal Father wrote to the, Empetl4. no doubt at the suggestion 'of dm Favourite, complaining of the conduct of the Am bassador Beauhsruois, in his thinth:,,tinp communi cations with the Prince of• Asturias, and expressing his surprise that the Emperor had not conic to a pre^ vious understanding with his Mr::-.s.ty on a stobjett of such pre-eminent importance to Sovereigns. " As the imprisonment'of the Prince <4lAsturia!, and, above all, the most scandalous Decree fulminat ed against.tils Royal Person, produced an effetl corn. pk)tely .-.rmitari to theesPeOations of the Favouri;e, he began 'to be afraid, thought proper to n-cede, and to Mrdiate a reconciliation between the Royal P a ., rents and their Son. With this view, as is slated in the Abstract of the Escurial Cause, circulated by the in consequence of his Majesty's orders of ftie Bth April, he forged certain letters, and made the Prince of Asturias sign them while a prisoner, which. being delivered into the hands of the Rtiyal Parents, were supposed to.have softened their hearts; and by these singular means did this innocent Prince obtain a nominal' liberty. " This. was the stale of affairs when a French Courier arrived at the Royal Palace of St. Laurence, with a treaty concluded and 's;gned at Yontainbleau on the 27th of October, by.. Don Eugenio Isquierdo, as Plenipotentiary, of his Catholic .11 ,- lajeSty, and Mar shal Duroc, in the name, of the Empetor of the French. • Its contents, as well as`thase of the sepa rate Convention, constitute Nos. I. 2. of the docu ments annexed to this Expo-ition. " It - is worthy of: observation, that the depart ment of the Ministry, of which I was at the head, was totally unacquainted with the measurf„'aken by Don E. Isquierdo, at Paris, as %%411 as with his ap pointinent, his instructions, his correspondence, and every part of his proceedings. The result of this treaty was to render_the Em peror master .01 Portugal with very little expence ; to furnish him with a plausible pretext for introducing his armies into our Peninsula, with the intent of subjugating it at a proper opportunity, and to put _ him in immediate possession of Tusettly. " The Favourite was to have for his portion the Algarves and Manley), in full property and sove reignty, reignty,'but the Emperor's . answer to the letters of the Royal Father had not yet arrived ; it was corn pletel) uncertain what it would be; and this filled him with fear and anxiety. . " The intimate rdations which the' Favourite maintained at that period with the Grand Duke of Berg, through the medium of his confident Isqui erdo, flattered him to a certain degree with the hope that every thing would be settled to his wishes, though the interposition of a few millions .might be necessary. But neither the Favourite nor his confi dent Knew the real intentions of the person they were treating with at Paris. In fact, the instant the Emperor found that-the Favourite had cominit ted himself,. and the Royal Parents were hiought into discredit, he showed no disposition toatiswer• his Majesty's letters, for the - purpose of keeping them in suspence, and inspiring them with dread, in the hope that - they might form the resolution of with. drawing, though at that time he had not completed his plan for taking an advantage of such an occur rence. " The Grand Duke wrote to the Favourite, that he would emph'iy every means to support him, but . that the negociation was rendered very delicate, ow, ing to the extraordinary attachment which prevailed in Spain towards the Prince of Asturias, and the consideration due towards aPrincess who was cousin to the Empress, and in consequence of the part the F Ambassador Beauharnois, her relative, took in the business: (t.) . . . " NOw it was that the Favourite began clearly to discover how much his credit had sunk, and he gave hicasell up for lost, in consequence of being depriv ed of the support of his imaginary protector, the Emperor of - the French. There were no means now negletted by him to endeavour to ingratiate hiniself with the Grand Duke of Berg; every sort of expres sion, every kind of deference was employed for this purpose.; and the more etfe&ually to avert the im pending storm, he prevailed on the Royal Parents to write to the Emperor direct, and to request his con sent to the marriage of one of his cousins to the • Prince of Asturias. " Meanwhile the Emperor of the French appeared to be very much dissatisfied with_ the conduct of Is quierdo, and kept him at a distance, in order to cut otf. this dire& mode of communication, and to make himself more impenetiable - . . . " His Imperial Majesty set off on a journey to Italy witlythat studied parade which-all Europe has witnessed;' giving it such an air of importance, that it was to be presumed he was going" to fix the deS tini'es of the world. But there reason to surmise that his real object was no other than to divert the general attention to .that quarter, for the purpose of misleading the other States, whilst his. real -de stgns.were directed to the invasion. of Portugal and Spain. • • • " This artifice and dissimulation. did not, hOw. ever, prevent the discovery of one, of the articles .in the. Secret Treaty of Fontainbleau, by his expelling,. with, the greatest precipitation, from Tuscany, the Queen Regent and her children, and plundering the Royal 'Palace, and seizing all the public funds ' of a- Court that was ignorant of the existence of such. a Treaty, and had committed no ad of for , feitere. . .• • I " WhilSt the EMperor kept Europe in 'silver:Se by his , journey to Milan and Venice, he thought Et to atiswer..tlae letters which he bad sotlle time be-
